as are most multicolor cards in multicolor sets.

what tends to happen is that in card design the more colors a card is the less it tends to cost. now thats not much of a problem in sets that dont focus arount more than 1 color. but when you get to things like invasion and ravnica that are made to be played with multipule colors, you get cards that normally would not be near as good by itself. lightning helix for example. in a regular set it would have been a exceptional multicolored card. but in ravnica where you got 1/4 of the set dedicated to those 2 colors and achiving those 2 colors it becomes such a friggin broken card.

well im done, anyone else wanna say anything?

Useless? I've made like 3 polls...

Besides, why is this useless? I'm interested in what people think of the set!

what you fail to realize is that this has nothing to do with what people care about.

EG, your poll isn't horrible...but a simple:
Yes, No, Don't know three option thing would of done...
really you have too many options which now "dents" the info collected from the poll destroying the point.

basically im seeing it as crap right now, everthing costs WAYYYYYY to much, and even then the abilities of the cards arent that good. In my opinion, Helix, Loxodon, Chord of Calling, and the Dredge mechanic are the only good things out of this set.

That is completely incorrect. He was not at all interested in finding out if people did or did not like Ravnica--he wanted to more precisely gauge their opinion on the set. That's like saying "What do you think about Elvis?" "Like/Dislike/Don't care". There are much more profound and varied opinions than that. Such a poll would actually be a bad poll.

Yeah, this makes the answers more precise... It's like rating from 1-5, and I don't know.

Thats just it, if you need more specifics using a poll isn't a good idea, because theres too many options to capture in a poll...

if you can't get the info needed from a simple poll then you shouldn't be using a poll to get the info...
